Pontiacs Quality over Quantity at SEMA

While browsing the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, this past week, we came across a few awesome Pontiacs to share with you all. Unfortunately, there weren't a ton, but what the show lacked in quantity, it made up for in quality. Check out our top 5 picks for coolest Pontiacs of the week and let us know what you think!

The beautiful '69 Firebird you see here is owned by Sid Tracy, and when it caught our eye on the outdoor show field, we couldn't pass up snapping some pictures of it. It's powered by a Mast Motorsports 540-horsepower LS3 and features one-off sheet-metal fabrication, Forgeline ZX3P center lock wheels, and a one-of-a-kind chin spoiler and side skirts. Inside resides an all-aluminum dash and interior panel cover, Italian leather-wrapped roll cage, and flush mounted glass. Troy Gudgel of BBT Fabrications in Champaign, Illinois is listed as the builder.

Trans Am Depot, of course, had a booth at SEMA this year to showcase its awesome concepts vehicles - remember the Judge on our cover a couple months ago? Yeah, those guys. They had the 6T9 GTO Judge on display along with a black Hurst Trans Am with T-tops. The company also creates 6T9 Trans Ams and 7T7 Trans Ams. You see, Trans Am Depot is the only company licensed and authorized to use the Trans Am moniker, meaning they have very high standards to live up to. We think they're doing a pretty good job of keeping the history alive and well.

A company called RMC or Restore a Muscle Car, in collaboration with Hermance Design, brought a creation nicknamed Banshee to the show. Built from a Camaro and designed to resemble a Pontiac Trans Am, the Banshee convertible held a steady crowd. According to the company, the Banshee "is like no other on the market" and is the "embodiment of what could have been." The build includes a body conversion package complete with injection molded front and rear fascia, an aluminum hood, ABS spoiler and shaker, fender insets and mirror accents. The option list includes such upgrades as a convertible top, T-top conversion, and supercharger, suspension, exhaust, and brake upgrade kits. Year One custom Snowflake wheels and custom paint, graphic, and interior options round out the substantial list.

Another awesome '69 Pontiac caught our eye in the show field as well. The orange Pro-Touring Pontiac GTO Judge owned by brothers Don and Darren Nickleson features a Butler Performance Pontiac 505 cubic-inch powerplant producing 665 horsepower. The "Judge Mental" GTO Judge is the perfect mix of show and go.
